Man Chung and Wing Kee, Chi
nese merchants, each lost somewhere
near $4,000 Wing KEGS store
was fire proof, but he had goods
stored in cellar which were des.
troyed. Nothing in Wing KEGS
store was damaged, not even his
clerk, wht remained in the store dur
ing the fire. Thirty houses were
burned, and all were the property of
Chinese.
The fire started in a Chinese barber
shop, but just how is not known.
The barber says he "no savey." The
Chinese say he has been in the
habit OF leaving pan of Goals in his
bed room, to keep the room warm,
and then spending his evenings in
the Chinese gambling house, so the
chances are that said little pan OF
Goals caused the conf agration.

THos GRANEY informs us that
everything looks favorable for a con-
tinuous run of the Banner mill the
coming winter. The company has
laid in supply of salt sufficient for
the winters run, have plenty of wood
on hand, and a fine body of good
ore in the Banner, and als in the
Wolverine. The Elmira company
has never yet run their mill during
the winter months, but it seems to
he their intention, from preparations
that have been made this fall, to
keep the stamps dropping all the
coming winter. The mill was shut
down short time ago, the supply OF
ore OIL the dump giving out. A few
months ago large stream of water
was tapped in the 400 #. level, which
soon filled, and the pump they had
having capacity sufficient only to
keep the 800 ft. level dry, the work
of taking out ore was necessarily sus-
pended in the 400 ft. level until the
new pump ofgreater capacity arrived
and cleared it of water. The mill
will soon be started up again, and
there is enough ore in the Banner
and Wolverine mines to keep it going
constantly all winter.

FOUND DEAD.- Louis Garrecht
found the body Of Henry Wehn yes
terday morning in bis (Wehn's) claim,
about a mile this side of Cold Springs,
and FIVE miles from town. Louie de-
llvers meat to the miners in that
section, and when he went to Wehn's
place yesterday, noticed the meat he
left for him just week before was
still there, and thinking that some
thing must have happened to the
man, tried the door, and found it
locked. He then looked in through
the window, and not seeing him,
went down to the cabin of Woods,
Maloney and Mccullough, to get them
to join in the search for Wehn, but
not finding them at home, returned
and went to Wehn's claim, three or
four hundred yards from bis house,
and found the body in the race, some
distance from the bank of the claim.
He had pulled off one gum boot, and
the sock was partly off, and his hat
was also off. The body was lying
face downward, the right arm under
meath the body. Wehn was in town
a week ago Sunday, and must have
died either that or the following day,
as the meat left there Monday had
not been touched. Deceased was
born in Holstein, Germany, and was
sixty-six years of age. He went to
California in 1854, and arrived here
in 1862. He has been engaged in
placer mining near Cold Springs since
1868. He was good citizen and an
industrious, honest miner.
After the above was in type the coro
ner's jury rendered verdict that death
was caused by rupture of aneurism of the
carotid artery.

Gus ScHLossER, J. B. Emery's
clerk, is duck slayer of the first de-
gree, and his gun ought to be taken
from him to give the other hunters a
chance. Gus is always at the duck
pond at the break of day, while the
other nimrods are snoring, and bags
all the new arrivals of the webbed
tribe. Sunday morning he slew
thirteen, six at one shot, and it was
bad day for ducks too. Gus would
have killed more had not the sudden
thought struck him that he might
have too many for one load and moi
enough for two.

now preparing for the winters work,
and expect to have out good crush

varies in width from ten to fifty feet
and carries good ore, how much of it
they do not know, but think good

coming winter to tap the ledge at
greater depth. They will commence
